This Easy Pork Stir-fry (AIP/Paleo) is a nutritious meal you can get on the table in 30 minutes! Substitute chicken, if you like, but enjoy!
I owe you an apology. I’ve been sitting on this recipe, and haven’t given it to you yet! I’ve made it so many times, trying different variations, so I know it is solid. It freezes well, it cooks up fast, and there are lots of important veggies in here to keep your gut happy. So here you go, friend! Easy Pork (or chicken) Stir-fry!
About coconut aminos
If you have been on an AIP, Paleo, or soy-free diet for any amount of time, you know about this magical elixir that replaces soy sauce. I mean, look at that color! I have found, though, that not all brands have the same density or richness. My favorite brand by far is Big Tree Farms Coco Aminos. It is so rich, not watery, like some brands.
Coconut aminos are slightly sweeter than soy sauce, but the flavor profile is pretty similar. For the coconut sensitive among you, note that it is made from the nectar of coconut blossoms, which may or may not make a difference to your particular sensitivity.
…and the mushrooms
I’m calling for oyster mushrooms in this recipe. Of course, you could substitute a different variety, but I love their firm texture for this dish. They also don’t render a ton of water. Mushrooms are excellent for the microbiome, and getting a variety of mushrooms is even better!
Are you a fan of the fungus? Perhaps if you try different varieties, you may find a favorite. Here are some recipes to try using mushrooms:
…and the rice!
The eagle-eyed AIP-ers out there have certainly raised an eyebrow over the rice in this photo. For me, white rice is fine, so this is how I eat it. Also, it makes a pretty picture! 😁
For the elimination phase of AIP, you could use cauliflower rice, or mix it with sweet potato glass noodles.
Thank you for joining me in my kitchen. Come by any time!
As always, I’m wishing you great love and deep healing!

minutesThis Easy Pork Stir-fry (AIP/Paleo) is a nutritious meal you can get on the table in 30 minutes! Substitute chicken, if you like, but enjoy!
Ingredients
2 TBSP 2 coconut oil or olive oil
1 lb. 1 ground pork (or chicken, if preferred)
1/2 cup 1/2 shredded carrots
3 cloves 3 garlic, thinly sliced
4 ounces 4 oyster mushrooms
2 cups 2 chopped baby boy choy
1/3 cup 1/3 coconut aminos. (I use Big Tree Farms Coco Aminos.)
2 TBSP 2 organic ginger juice* or minced fresh ginger
1 tsp 1 sea salt
1/2 TBSP 1/2 arrowroot starch/flour
Directions
- Heat oil in a chef’s pan (I use the one from Greenpan.)or wok over medium high heat. When oil is hot, add pork, and stir-fry until no pink remains.
- Add carrots and garlic to the pan, and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, and stir-fry another 30 seconds. Add bok choy, and stir-fry yet another 30 seconds.
- Turn heat down to medium low. Add in coco aminos, ginger juice and salt. Stir to combine. Make a well in the center of the pan, and whisk in the arrowroot starch. You may need to increase the heat a bit to get it to thicken. Serve over white rice (if successfully re-introduced), cauliflower rice, or sweet potato glass noodles. Enjoy!
Notes
- *The ginger juice that I’ve linked here is a major time saver. It does, however, contain citric acid, which can give some people trouble. If you want to remain fully AIP, use fresh ginger.

This is so good. I really miss Asian food on this diet, and finally found a recipe that satisfies that craving, thank you for sharing it. I can’t wait to try some of your other recipes!
I’m so glad! Thanks for taking the time to write, James. I hope you find some more fun things to make! 🙂
I’m looking forward to trying this for my family with so many sensitivities/allergies- including carrots- can I just leave them out? Can I put in broccoli?
Hi, Stephanie! Yes, I think you can replace the carrots with broccoli. You might want to chop the broccoli into small pieces so that it gets done in a similar time. Good luck! 👍🏻
